To finish the series, the compulsory diptych. My choice from a number of collages with Android apps KDcollage and PhotoGrid (see below). In Photoshop I'd be tempted to resize and tweak the above for exact match of the halves, but phone apps don't allow much of this - and in art we have to leave something to the imagination :)
Mars is peppered with craters. Scientists have deduced that the red planet is struck by around 200 meteoroids every year that dig out new craters.
While some small craters are fresh, Mars has a great many that are much larger and more ancient, such as the roughly circular patch of terrain, partially encircled by wrinkled cliffs, shown at the centre of this image. Named Atlantis basin, this crater is so old that its outer rim has eroded and is now barely detectable. It is thought to be the result of a massive collision some 4 billion years ago, during the ‘Late Heavy Bombardment’ – a period when an unusually high number of asteroids rained down on the rocky inner Solar System planets.
The Atlantis basin is located in the southern highlands of Mars. Many different structures and geological features can be found across this region of the planet, a number of which are shown in this image such as cliffs, impact craters, channels carved into steep slopes, wrinkled ridges and scarps.
Perhaps the most prominent feature is the speckling of uneven terrain towards the centre of this image. This is Atlantis Chaos, a lowland plain covering around 170 km by 145 km, and containing a few hundred small peaks and flat-topped hills known as ‘mesas’. These sandy-coloured mounds are thought to result from the slow erosion of a once-continuous solid plateau.
There are several other large basins in this part of Mars that appear to be partially connected. Geologists believe that these basins may have been filled with water in the past to create the hypothetical far-reaching Eridania lake, which would have covered an area of over a million square kilometres, about the size of France and Spain combined.
There is also evidence from Mars Express and other spacecraft that deposits in one of these nearby basins contain minerals that are produced in the presence of water, and are similar to those found in some types of clay on Earth. This, along with the deep channels and ridges carved into the basin slopes seen towards the bottom of this image, for example, suggest the past existence of water in the Atlantis basin and surrounding region.
This image is a mosaic of four images taken by the Mars Express High Resolution Stereo Camera on 28 December 2008, 29 December 2008, 6 February 2009 and 5 January 2014. The image resolution is roughly 14 m per pixel.
This image was first published on 12 June 2014 on the DLR German Aerospace Center website.

The perfect mate to aid the "on foot" explorer in hostile or uncertain terrain. Sophisticated scanners isolate potential threats and choose an optimal route to destinations - plus they don't mind carring your stuff.
A bot emerges as I try and clean up both the house and my lego. Little editing helps it along.
I have a lot of these little planets and doo-dads/whatnots setting around. I need to get out more. This was taken through a car window, at a dead stop in a traffic jam on the interstate.

So we donated this wee little ship to creations for charity. It was kindly bought... What the buyer did not know was that we would take forever to ship due to wanting to build them an additional surprise of including the Planet Express building to go with it. So hope you're blessed and can forgive the wait! :D
The roof and back bay window both open up to reveal fun little compartments :)

Planet construction is a messy industrial process requiring much cleanup for the finished product to be useable.

I created this in photoshop elements using the 6-photo panorama shown below...
Here's a link to a step-by-step tutorial. It's actually pretty easy to do if you have a decent landscape or panorama shot to start off with.

This is a view of Saint Hilaire from the top of the Saint Hilaire Mount in Quebec, Canada. It is in fact a montage of 6 of my photos (no fish eye, no wide angle, no autopano...). The original image is big...
Mont Saint-Hilaire is a steep-sided circular formation rising some 250 meters above the Saint Lawrence plain. It comprises one of the last remnants of old growth deciduous forest in Quebec and hosts many rare and endangered species. It is located about 32 km east of Montreal.

The lighthouse at the Point of Ayre stands out well against the flat landscape ans so lends itself to dominate a little planet.
Played with the original to produce this for sliders sunday.
this shot was taken at 11 am, in hot sun... and the small speck of light seen on the jel is our SUN....

Combating climate change and making the planet greener and cleaner is an issue for everyone. How times have changed since World Environment Day was launched by the United Nations General Assembly 36 years ago. We wonder if they considered then that today climate change and other environmental impacts would have such an impact on world hunger and poverty. The world has yet to figure out how it will deal with global warming, changing rainfall patterns, melting glaciers, rising sea-levels and climate refugees. In many countries defence forces might find themselves torn between humanitarian relief operations and guarding their borders against climate refugees, as climate change and scarce resources, forcing millions of climate refugees across the borders.
Climate change is expected to put an estimated 50 million more people at risk of hunger and water stress by 2020. It poses a serious threat to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), especially during a period of global economic recession, when resources needed to cope with climate change may be reassigned. Agriculture and deforestation account for 30 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions. These two sectors can therefore contribute to reducing emissions if agricultural practices are changed.
Poor people in developing countries are the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The negative impacts on their crop yields are already being felt and will be increasingly severe. Climate change is likely to affect forest expansion and migration, and exacerbate threats to biodiversity resulting from land use/cover change and population pressure. Marine and coastal ecosystems are likely to be affected by sea level rise and temperature increases. Human health will also be adversely affected. Rising temperatures and rainfall variability had led to more climate-induced diseases and heat stress. Experts predict climate change-related stresses -- including disasters, food and water shortages and conflicts over scarce resources -- could permanently uproot 200 to 250 million people by mid-century.
According to new technique and research our planet's continents were arranged 2.5 billion years ago. We are homo consumens of the earth and very young specie still trying to understand the mysteries of nature and in our ignorance we have destroyed it. Climate change offers humanity no second chances. Only rich countries can break the deadlock crippling international climate negotiations and prevent the world lurching into climate disaster.

Tozer found that as further bubbles were made from a particular batch of solution, less colours appeared on the surface. “The first bubble you make has loads of colour in it, when you make another couple they seem to have less detergent in them, so less colour,” he says. “The detergent sinks to the bottom of the bubbles, leaving the water behind, so you gradually get paler images"...

A Myint est un petit village à 25 km au Sud de Monywa sur les bords de la Chindwin. Près de 300 anciens stupas et de vieux monastères en bois dont les plus anciens datent du XIV ème siècle sont répartis au milieu du village.
This build is Ice Station Icarus on the planet Krysto, inspired by Ice Planet 2002 but using the range of pieces and building techniques now available.
The colour scheme and styling of this build will hopefully be recognisable to any fan of the original LEGO Ice Planet 2002 sets (1993-1994), though I have broadened the colour scheme ever so slightly for my post-apocalyptic Ice Planet setting.
This build features my previously posted KDF-07 Frost Giant Mech and Surefoot TR3 Rover
